Reed's Pharmacy / Mamou, LA
April 2023
Local traditions, ingredients, culture, & music were my inspiration for this project. I reached out to musician Wayne Toups to see if I could incorporate some of his lyrics to “2 step Mamou” into my design & he not only said yes but also joined us for our group photo (how cool of him)! Lyrics below…
Well it’s Saturday night, and we got the right
To have a little party, and make it all night
Where you can learn, to dance a Cajun tune
Doing the Two-Step Mamou
C’est l’samedi au soir, on est tous là
Pour avoir un bon temps, et aller tout’ la nuit
C'est àyoù peux apprendre, la danse des Cadiens
T’après faire le Two-Step de Mamou

This festive box was filled to the brim with goodies from 11 female Louisiana makers. It includes one item from each lady boss & a full Q&A to get to know them.
We celebrated female friendship on Galentine’s Day by sending our besties (and sometimes ourselves) a sweet surprise…& supported female entrepreneurs in the process!

I designed a box for Ellen DeGeneres !
Somebody pinch me💖🥳🎉. I’m still freaking out & internally screaming over this opportunity to work with the whole The Ellen Shop team on their spring season Be Kind box.
The illustrations were inspired by Ellen’s final farewell season of her show & it just feels extra special knowing she started off as a Louisiana girl with a dream just like me! Cue all the happy dances & confetti canons & Ellen underwear!

PopDrop Booth is a mobile wooden backdrop that showcases my original paintings while providing an immersive art encounter that can take place anywhere.
This rentable booth allows me to create hand-painted & curated backdrops for any photoshoot or event. To launch this project, I worked with ArtSpark & local photographers to complete a series of portraits that highlight the booth’s possibilities while uplifting Louisiana small business owners.
The booth was repainted with each portrait session, allowing me to use various mediums & techniques to match the artwork to the portrait subject.

This memorial tribute honors the life of Calvin Smith on the very barn he built with the help of his neighbors & family in 1962. At 43 ft, this mural was commissioned by Darrel Smith & his siblings to honor their Dad, breathe fresh life into the barn, & celebrate the heritage of this area of land known as “Faiquetaique.” The family still lives on this private land surrounding the barn & welcomes guests & visitors alike to come out & enjoy this colorful space.

This project was on my mind & heart for YEARS.
The dream was to put together a product that represented some of the amazing creativity happening in Louisiana. Since markets & events were still on hold due to covid, this year’s Galentine box seemed like the perfect opportunity to go for it!
Each of the 50 Galentine boxes sold included a handmade item from each of the 12 makers & a link to a short interview to learn more about their craft. For these interview Q&A sections, I did an original illustration of each lady boss. My goal was to highlight a little bit of their personality, magic, & incredible work!
Together we represent: Ruston, Sunset, Lake Charles, Eunice, Lafayette, NOLA, Shreveport, Baton Rouge, & Youngsville!
The Book That Wanted To Be Red, written by Jerica Guillory & illustrated by Hannah Gumbo. This whimsical children's book follows the journey of a young book in his search for happiness, learning along the way that, "nothing is so simple that it cannot be misunderstood"
